Lecture: Visualization: Science and Art

This talk presents a range of research projects and artworks that introduce current trends in the field information visualization. The projects include: interactive representations of biological pathways that enable the visual analysis of protein-protein interactions; dynamic network visualizations of the human brain connectome; and a public art installation that explores connections between photographic images and literary themes in the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude. In addition to describing details about these individual projects, the talk will explore the potential of integrating artistic and scientific approaches to research.

Hello All,

We are watching Manufactured Landscape about the photographer Edward Burtynski today.
I found a link to the movie on Hulu for free. If you can't make it to the class due to the heavy snow forecasted throughout the day, please watch the film on your own time and leave a feedback before the Spring break.

Leave a feedback on Andreas Gursky and try to answer questions I raised in the class. It's due by March 2nd.

1.Is the deadan’s detached, distant, analytical, banal approach somehow distill our cultural mood?
2. Does it represent the way people feel disconnected from one another, even if technology makes them more interconnected than ever?
3. And is deadpan photography a refuge or reflection of emotion when we are overwhelmed with terrorism, war, ecological and natural disaster?
4. Does its uniformity of the style reflect our mass-produced, chain-store world?
5. Has our ability to document just about anything made us do just that...
